In this lesson, I’ll guide you through threading your sewing machine calmly and clearly, step by step.
This is often the moment that feels most intimidating for beginners, so we’ll start by looking at the bigger picture — how stitches are actually formed — before moving into the practical steps of threading the top of the machine, winding the bobbin, and inserting it correctly.
As we go, I’ll explain why each step matters, so you’re not just following instructions, but understanding what’s happening inside the machine.As you work through this lesson, you’ll begin to move from hesitation to confidence. Threading your machine is one of those skills that turns sewing from something mysterious into something manageable. Once you know how to do it — and know that you can always re-thread if needed — a huge amount of fear falls away.
By the end of this lesson, you should feel capable, independent, and ready to sit down at your machine knowing you can set it up correctly whenever you need to.
